Giles Tremlett is a British historian, journalist and author, widely recognised for his work on Spain and its contemporary history. He has written extensively on the Spanish Civil War, the Franco dictatorship, and the role of Spain in Europe, including acclaimed biographies of Isabel the Catholic and Catalina of Aragón. A contributing writer for The Guardian and former correspondent for The Economist, Tremlett has become one of the foremost foreign voices interpreting Spain’s recent past.
His most recent book, Franco. El dictador que moldeó un país (Franco: The Dictator Who Shaped a Country), offers a compelling portrait of the man who ruled Spain for four decades and whose legacy continues to shape the present.
In conversation with María José Ferrari, Professor and Director of the Chair of Hispanic Cultures at IE University, Tremlett will reflect on the enduring challenges of interpreting history, the tensions between memory and historiography, and the relevance of Spain’s past for today’s Europe.
